Depois de se ter mudado para Nova Iorque e insatisfeito com o rumo que a sua carreira, Mick Jones (fundador de Foreigner) começou a sua busca para formar uma banda que combinaria elementos do rock, do R&B e do Pop dentro de um estilo sólido e coerente.
Em 1976 durante uma sessão de gravações conheceu o Inglês Ian McDonald um saxofonista. Conheceu também o baterista Inglês Dennis Ellioth, e ainda os Americanos Al Greenwood (teclado), Ed Gagliardi (baixo) e ainda o vocalista Lou Gramm com quem formou os Foreigner tendo também por essa altura assinado um contrato com a Atlantic Records.
"Foreigner", o primeiro LP da banda foi posto a venda em 1977 tendo sido 5 vezes platina graças aos exitos Feels Like the First Time, Long, Long Way From Home, e ainda Cold As Ice".
Em 1978 chegou as lojas o segundo álbum da banda com o título "Double Vision". O LP manteve-se durante seis meses entre os dez LPs mais vendidos impulsionado por existos como por exemplo "Hot Bloded". Seguiram-se ainda álbuns como "Head Games" em 1979, "4" em 1981, "Agent Provocateur" em 1984 (álbum que incluiu a tão conhecida "I Want to Know What Love Is"), e ainda "Inside Information" em 1987.
Entretanto com o desenvolvimento da carreira de Lou Gramm, que por esta altura já lançara dois álbuns a solo, Jones e Elliot, tratando de manter o espírito da banda vivo, contrataram um novo vocalista: Johnny Edwards. Com resultado desta colaboração nasceu o álbum "Unusual Heat" em 1991, álbum que passou despercebido a maioria do público.
Em 1995 chega as lojas "Mr.Moonlight" álbum que conta com a colaboração de dois novos elementos: Bruce Turgon (baixo) e Jeff Jacobs (teclado). Conta ainda com o regresso de Lou Gramm a banda naquela que seria a sua última colaboração em álbuns oficiais dos Foreigner.
Já em 2003 Lou Gramm abandona definitivamente a banda sendo substituído dois anos depois pelo vocalista Kelly Hansen (Ex Hurricane).
